If that works for you, great! I’m going to keep pirating games without demos though.

If you refund too often they will consider it “abuse” and stop letting you do it.

No. Demos are rare and games are expensive.

Some will say they care about it, but when threatened with having their social media taken away, they will cave and give the info. Others will say something like “I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide”. They still use Chrome and Gmail. They don’t use an ad blocker. They still install apps that request every single permission on their phones. Protecting your privacy online is extremely difficult and most people aren’t willing to do it.

Normies can’t remember things unless they are constantly reminded of it. Most probably don’t even know when these companies get hacked unless it gets talked about on the news. They don’t see the warning emails because it gets lost with all of the spam they get because they use the same email address for everything, same password too so the email account just got hacked too.

Maybe I swallowed too many blackpills but I just don’t see any positive changes regarding this happening any time soon without some new laws being passed, which won’t happen because these companies own every government.

It’s crazy because when I was a child these same people always told me to never tell anyone online my real name, age, or location. Now they are scrolling through facebook all day and constantly telling me to make an account.

I’m sure X security is flawless and this info will never be stolen. This definitely won’t make them an even bigger target for hackers.

“I haven’t done anything wrong so I have nothing to hide!”

Normies absolutely will and they will think you’re crazy for not wanting to.

Glasses don’t correct this issue.

I have glasses. This isn’t something that they can correct for me. Glasses don’t fix the shape of your eyes. Maybe this can help explain what it’s like? It’s about conferences but it’s the same for anything with that colour scheme. The smaller the text, the worse it gets.

Dark mode is not good for everyone.

It’s not blue light. It’s blurriness caused by the white of the text bleeding into the black. Straining my eyes to read it causes headaches. I can use light mode things with no problems.

Steam skins don’t reskin most of the client anymore. I used to use a light skin similar to Metro when Steam still properly supported it.

That works for a browser but I would still need the client to install, uninstall, and manage game settings. Steam skins only work for a few areas of the client. Most of it will still be unreadable.

GOG because it’s more convenient and less ableist.

Steam’s colour scheme makes it difficult to read and causes eye strain and headaches for people with astigmatism, like me. The way the light text bleeds into the darkness surrounding it makes it difficult to read anything so I can’t be sure of the price that I’m paying without copy/pasting it into notepad or something. When I made a thread pointing this out years ago, when they disabled the old theme system, Valve’s mods banned me from the forum and deleted my thread.

I sent an email to Epic Games about the same problem in their store and got a response that could be summarized as “Don’t care, go fuck yourself.” so they are not a good option either. I don’t like gambling so I won’t use EA’s virtual casino, and I want to keep the games I buy so Ubisoft’s store is also not an option.

It’s GOG or piracy for me.
